I recovered encrypted files from a hard drive that would not boot. Files names are normal but Axcrypt indicates GUID error when I try to open files. Can I repair these damaged files? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hello David,

In this case it seems the recovery was not successful. The error in question indicates that the first 16 bytes of the file does not match the expected value – which in turn indicates a strong likelyhood the entire file is completely corrupted.

So, the answer is unfortunately, no – you can’t repair these files. Sorry.
